Hey how badly does Apple want to be your default card in Wallet? It doesn’t say “no thanks,” at this prompt, it says “Set as default later” pic.twitter.com/a69iUgK3TV

Apple, you’re above tricks like this.

Sure, it’s a small thing. But small things add up. We all love Apple because of a large collection of GOOD small things over time.

Don’t let customer-hostile tricks in today’s services strategy cheapen the brand you’ve built over decades. https://t.co/aa2npwDhoO

Got to hold an Apple Card yesterday! It’s nice, a little heavier than you’d expect. And it’s still a credit card: while signing up is easy, you have to call Goldman Sachs to cancel. Rollout starts today: https://t.co/V0xPvpqCGu pic.twitter.com/rnQHerMA7A

The Apple Card is Apple software married to the Goldman Sachs consumer credit platform, so it has an unusual privacy architecture. Goldman Sachs gets all the information about where, when and what you bought, but Apple does not. https://t.co/zBRDqohOC5

Btw, the lowest APR for Apple Card is 12.99 percent after Fed rate cut, seeing a few stories quoting a higher rate. But I just signed up and it is indeed 12.99. pic.twitter.com/mYbDpXskUw

Apple Card launches in the US today. The card setup process is so Apple, so simple. Apple is basically putting a pretty UI on top of a Goldmans credit card, and borrowing all the neat things of Simple, Monzo, Starling etc. https://t.co/4Spzha39bP pic.twitter.com/uDrz6HVVXa

Respect to Apple for finally releasing the kind of product that East London fintech startups have been pumping out for years now https://t.co/lSQJ5JTfPd

As of today, a small group of people will get to apply for the Apple Card. It's shiny, it's new, and it has a really beautiful interface to show how you're spending. It's also a key part of Apple's master plan to reinvent your digital wallet. https://t.co/uozr1WSZL7
